It's a match produced in celluloid
heaven, because FPJ is Da King of Philippine Movies while Juday is considered
today's Drama Princess. In the movie, he plays the strict father of tomboyish
Juday.

FPJ said that his film project
with Juday was first planned two years ago during the induction of PAMI
(Professional Artists Managers, Inc.) officers.

As Badong in Isusumbong, FPJ
is the owner of a repair shop, a widower doting on his only daughter (Juday),
who is fast growing up and eyeing boys and that's the father's problem.

On the Isusumbong set, Juday
was happy to discover that the guy playing her suitor Caloy was a schoolmate
(from Mt. Carmel High School, Quezon City): Leandro Munoz, 20, a Business
Management graduate from San Beda and the current Close-Up Boy. Leandro
is being introduced in Isusumbong and included in ABS-CBN's Star Circle
(Batch 8) to be launched first week of May.

"We used to copy from
each other during exams," revealed Juday who was happy to reunite
with her former gang mate.
